V6 getting ready to launch up the strip at Crail
- Thread starter G man582
- Start date
MERCEDES CLS AMG
when you see its quarter mile time you wont
MERCEDES CLS AMG
Tis the fastest motorsport on Earth - the strip is the ultimate proof of acceleration and power. It isnt V6 territory
The Beast MK4
If thats the same guy I saw, He wasn't gunning it, Pretty fookin slow actually.

Silly nonsense ?? wtf was the V6 built for then - track days ?? .......there crap at them as well !!!
some people need to realise why people own V6's...
i bought mine not for power (otherwise i would have a P1, Evo 7/8 for the same money!)
Its about WHAT THE CAR IS not what it does.
Its RWD, it looks lovely, it has loads of usable torque, it goes well, its smooth, and its mid engined.... but it will never be a japanese 600bhp skyline, but like i say..its not what the car is about... in my eyes its like owning a classic, no one else has one.
This is my opinion of course.

MKIII 138

just to clarify the MKI does 6.3 to sixty which at its time of relaease was fast and imo still is fast a smidgen quicker than a 182 (only by .2 of a second lol)
the MKII is 5.8 officially but could be quicker still.
thats not slow at all to move 1410kg piece of metal from nothing with just two wheels at just over 10mph per 1 second
also 150mph is fast enough and midrange a 255bhp car once rolling will be mucho rapid as per the 147gta i played with oin my cup, upto 80 not much in it after that power torque creeps in until at 100 its 4 lenghs in front and by the time your at 100 thats at 115 and 6 lenghs etc.
handling ok so not s**t hot but grip must still be fairly massive and just needs a more point and squirt attitude to driving

if you're driving a 172/182, I can't see why you want a V6 in a couple of years ... ??
should try other cars with same sort of money ...
eg. Nissan 350z, Mitsubishi EVO 8 ..........
they are also around 15/16k after 1-2 years ...

it's one of those cars you will get in and know within 10 mins if its the car for you...
i was after a impreza sti version 3 originally....
remembering i drove my close friends impreza type r running a 2.5 lump, and all sorts of tricks with 360 bhp, and 355ft/lbs running low 12's, by far the fastest car i have ever driven.
3 days later i drove the V6... and i knew i wanted it the second it drove in the car park... so... its all based on taste and what you want...

If you ever see a V6 driving up a road with lots of peds about you will realise that its an event in itself. I've seen a few about and the amount of people that stop and look is incredible, it has a presence that a Skyline/Evo/Scooby etc can never have, and all for about £15k these days.
Performance isn't everything (although its hardly shabby is it!), I'd imagine learning to drive one well and just loving it for what it is, is more than enough.
Clarkson put one in his top 10 garage of all time, and regardless of what you think of him you can't doubt his experience, he's driven virtually every performance car made worth mentioning, and in ideal conditions, yet he still loves the Vee.

Evo magazine managed 5.8 seconds for the mk1, but they do their own times. They had 5.8 for the 255 also.Dash said:
